As the cortege winds its way through the streets of
Basel
,
the crowds, both parents and children, crowd round the many decorated wagons -
calling to the Waggis in the hope of receiving one of the many goodies they hand out,
be they oranges, sweets or flowers!

One thing's for sure. You're always guranteed a warm welcome at
Basel
Fasnacht.
